“…This study analysed mortality trends, identifying an increasing trend in both sexes in all countries except Germany and Malta, where a reduction was observed. The authors presented two main hypotheses for this finding: better diagnoses attributed to the implementation of ICD-10; and the contribution of environmental factors 27 .…”

Background: The objective of this work was to analyse the prevalence trends of multimorbidity among European community-dwelling adults.Methods: A temporal series study based on waves 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) was conducted, and community-dwelling participants aged 50+ (n=274,614) from 15 European countries were selected, for the period 2004-2017. Prevalence, adjusted by age, Annual Percentage Change (APC) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were all calculated. Trend analyses were realised by period, age groups and groups of diseases. Results: The results showed a large variability in the prevalence of multimorbidity in adults aged 50 and over among European countries. Increase in the prevalence of multimorbidity in the countries of central Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany and Switzerland) and Spain in both sexes, and in the Netherlands among men. Stability was observed in northern and eastern European countries. Musculoskeletal and neurodegenerative groups showed more significant changes in the trend analyses. Conclusions: This information can be useful for policy makers when planning health promotion and prevention policies addressing modifiable risk factors in health.

“…Rising trends in mortality from dementia and Alzheimer's disease are seen in most EU countries, possibly in part reflecting such changes. These are also likely to explain the significant cross-country differences in mortality rates ranging, for example, from 279 per 100,000 population in 2013 in Finland (notable for its high mortality from dementia) to <5 in Malta and Latvia (Niu et al, 2017).…”

Trends of mortality from Alzheimer's disease in the European Union, 1994–2013

Abstract: Our findings provide evidence that AD mortality has increased in the EU, especially in eastern and northern European countries and in the female population. Our results could be a reference for the development of primary prevention policies.
